J. Kimmich has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by K. Coman.
Coman finds Kimmich inside the box with a low cross for the opening.
GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! BAYERN END THE GAME WITH A FLOURISH! Kimmich adds to the scoreline with a great backheeled finish from the inside right channel after a good run down the flank.

Muller robs Soyuncu of possession and plays a simple pass to Lewandowski, who finished with ease.
GOALLLLLL!!! LEWANDOWSKI MAKES IT FOUR! A poor mistake from Soyuncu allows Muller to rob him in the final third and he plays the ball straight to an unmarked Lewandowski. The Pole holds his composure and slots his strike past Schwolow into the net. Far too easy for the home side.
73'
Bayern are quite content to sit on their three-goal lead and just use the time to try to build an effective rhythm in the final third.
71'
Y. Ravet enters the game and replaces M. Frantz.
Frantz makes way for Ravet.
Freiburg win a corner on the right flank and Schuster's first delivery is cleared back to the defender. However, his second delivery is downright awful, firing the ball high and wide into the stand behind the goal.

Rudy replaces Martinez for the home side.
68'
Martinez is struggling with a shoulder problem for the home side and may have to be withdrawn here.

63'
Thiago Alcântara has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by M. Hummels.
Hummels picks out Thiago on the edge of the box and the Spaniard delivers with a fine strike.
GOALLLLL!!!!!!! THIAGO ICES THE GAME! Bayern surely are on their way to the three points as Thiago buries his strike into the bottom corner from distance. The Spaniard was afforded space and time 25 yards from goal to shoot towards the target and he made no mistake hitting the back of the net.
62'
VAR! The referee alters his decision after looking at the replay. It was harsh and he awards a corner instead, much to the dismay of the home side.
60'
PENALTY TO BAYERN! The ball strikes the hand of Soyuncu in the box and the referee awards a penalty. A harsh one on the Freiburg defender.
59'
Bayern's approach play has lacked vigour in the second half, Heynckes will want to see more from his team.

It has been a quiet start to the second half from both sides, but the onus is on the visitors to show a threat in the final third.

WIDE! Robben goes on the surge down the right flank and he cuts inside to shoot on his left foot, only to pull his strike wide of the post.

42'
K. Coman has scored a goal for Bayern Munich!
GOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! BAYERN DOUBLE THEIR LEAD! The home side notch their second of the contest as Coman heads home from close range. Schwolow does not cover himself in glory as he palms a strike from Robben into the middle of the area, which allows the Frenchman to meet the ball with his head and he loops his effort over the keeper on the ground into the net. Poor keeping and not the best defending to allow Robben a free strike at goal.
41'
The referee allows a couple of challenges go from both teams, but steps in as Hofler slides in late on Thiago and awards a free-kick to the home side.
39'
Bayern are struggling to find their clinical edge in the final third. They capitalised on a mistake to take the lead, but since they've not quite been sharp enough in the box.

36'
CHANCE! Freiburg threaten again as Gunter breaks into space down the left flank, with Kimmich absent once again. He lifts a pinpoint cross into the area and Frantz on the surge meets it with a diving header, but he can only send his effort wide of the post. A huge opening spurned by the visitors.
35'
Kent has space to raid into on the left flank and he cuts back on his right foot to strike from the edge of the box, but his effort is deflected into the hands of Ulreich.

Freiburg take a risk by playing a high line and a header from Martinez almost catches them out as Lewandowski raids into space, but the flag goes up for offside against the Pole.
26'
Lewandowski probes in the channel this time and wins a corner for the home side. Bayern play it short and Robben has time to curl a cross to the back post, but he sends his delivery over the head of Thiago and out for a goal-kick.
25'
Hummels attempts to release Muller over the top and he controls the ball in the box and prepares to shoot. However, the offside flag is raised as the forward moved just a fraction too early.

19'
Soyuncu has to act at the back to stop Muller's low ball from reaching Lewandowski in the box. Thiago had released the forward in the area, but the Freiburg defender was alert to make the vital interception.
17'
WIDE! Bayern win a corner down the right and Kimmich whips the ball towards the near post with pace. Thiago rises highest in the box, but the ball skims off his head and appears to be heading wide of the post before deflecting off a Freiburg player and out for another corner.
16'
Kimmich loses out to Harberer and brings down the winger as he tries to break away. The Bayern full-back is fortunate to escape a booking for that challenge.
14'
Bayern are controlling the match at the moment and there's no sign of the visitors being able to stop their progress into the final third. It's all too easy for the home side.
12'
WIDE! Bayern keep the pressure on down the left flank and they win a corner. From the resulting delivery, Alaba swings the ball towards the near post and Martinez rises to head at goal, only to send his effort wide of the post.

8'
J. Schuster is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOALLLLLLLL!!!! BAYERN TAKE THE LEAD! The new Heynckes era is underway on the right note. A mistake by Kent inside his own half was seized upon by Bayern as Alaba raided down the left flank to the byline. The full-back fired the ball across the face of goal where Muller was there to convert, although his effort may have deflected off Schuster to find the net.

The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Freiburg have had an inconsistent start to the season, but did record a fine win over Hoffenheim last time out. Goals from Florian Niederlechner, Calgar Soyunucu and Pascal Stenzel delivered the three points, sending Christian Streich's men into this afternoon's match with confidence.
Bayern have been off the boil at both ends of the pitch and need a spark this afternoon to get back to the standard expected of the club.
The 72-year-old returns with Bayern off the pace in the title race in the Bundesliga this season. They've allowed two-goal leads to slip in their last two matches, leaving them five points adrift of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.
Jupp Heynckes returns to the dugout at the Allianz Arena as the replacement for Carlo Ancelotti until the end of the season. Heynckes left Bayern after a successful third stint at the club in 2013, having won all four trophies in the 2012-13 campaign, including the Champions League.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Freiburg at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern have made two changes from their 2-2 draw against Hertha Berlin last time out. Franck Ribery is absent due to injury and is replaced by Kingsley Coman on the left flank. Thiago Alcantara comes back into the line-up at the expense of Corentin Tolisso, who drops to the bench.
Freiburg have made one change to their line-up from their triumph over Hoffenheim. Ryan Kent comes into the fold on the left flank, replacing Marco Terrazzino, with Niederlechner continuing to lead the line.
FLASHBACK! Bayern beat Freiburg 4-1 on the final day of last season. Goals from Arjen Robben, Arturo Vidal, Joshua Kimmich and Ribery sent Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso off in style in their final game for the club.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: BAYERN 2-0 FREIBURG
Jupp Heynckes return has started off well as Bayern Munich lead 2-0 at the break against Freiburg. An own goal from Julian Schuster along with a headed effort from Kingsley Coman have put them in control. However, the real test will come after the break as Bayern have given up two-goal leads in their last two Bundesliga matches. Freiburg have had opportunities, but Ryan Kent and Mike Frantz were unable to take them. A big 45 minutes remains for the home side.
The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway shortly.
FULL-TIME: BAYERN 5-0 FREIBURG
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
Jupp Heynckes makes the perfect start on his return to Bayern. His side close the gap to two points to Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table by hammering Freiburg this afternoon. An own goal from Julian Schuster started the rout before Kingsley Coman, Thiago Alcantara, Robert Lewandowski and Joshua Kimmich all found the net to secure the three points.
